Where is Harris today? See Thursday's schedule, latest news on 2024 presidential race
Millions of voters are already heading to the polls in a tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. With just twelve days until the general election, both campaigns are ramping up their efforts before the Nov. 5 voting deadline.
Harris returns to Atlanta on Thursday to kick off the “When We Vote We Win” concert events and will be joined by former President Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen, who has already endorsed the Democrat. The New Jersey rocker will perform some of his most popular songs, including “Born to Run,” and is expected to attend other campaign rallies with Obama, focusing on the battleground states, according to campaign officials.
The event will mark the first time Harris and Obama have appeared together on the campaign trail.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris’ running mate, will be in North Carolina on Thursday, making campaign stops in Durham, Greenville and Wilmington. In the evening, he’ll head to Philadelphia.
On Friday, the vice president is expected to visit Texas to attend a campaign event in Houston focusing on abortion rights and rally with Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas, who is challenging Republican Sen. Ted Cruz. And finally, she’ll sit down for an interview with researcher Brené Brown, a podcaster who talks about feeling vulnerable.
On Saturday, former first lady Michelle Obama and the Democratic presidential candidate will travel to Kalamazoo, Michigan, for a joint Get Out the Vote rally — and the first day of early voting. This will be her first event on the campaign trail for the Harris-Walz campaign.Walz will return to Arizona on Saturday to campaign for the Democratic ticket in Window Rock, the capital of the Navajo Nation located near the state's border with New Mexico.
Looking ahead, Harris will give a speech on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, a source familiar with her plans said on Wednesday. She is seeking to sway last-minute voters to her campaign one week before the Nov. 5 presidential election.
